The steady accumulation of knowledge about the multifarious roles of glial cells, in both healthy and diseased states, has greatly added to the complexity of our picture of the CNS. However ...
The Deneen Lab seeks to unlock the enigmatic biology surrounding glial cell development and function in the brain. Beginning with developmental gliogenesis, we identified the key transcriptional ...
2 The CNS is made up of neurons and glial cells, with the latter group—including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia—exhibiting greater diversity and function than neurons. Once ...
The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.
